## What is Sat Aligner?

Don’t waste any more time with annoying satellite dish alignment.

The Sat Aligner App guides you automatically through every single step and tells you what to do.

First of all, select the satellite (e.g. Astra 19.2°) to which you would like to adjust the sat dish.

In the second step, you have a choice between the normal oval form or the ever more common flat antennas.

If you decide on the oval offset dish, you just need to input the offset angle or the length and width of the dish. Now the app has all the data to adjust your sat system correctly. All the necessary angles can now be calculated automatically.

In the next-to-last step, the horizontal adjustment of the satellite dish is set with the help of the built-in compass.

In the last step, the vertical angle of the sat antenna is quickly adjusted with the built-in clinometer and you’re already done!

## Key features

- Automatic step-by-step guidance
- Satellite selection
- Antenna type choice (oval/flat)
- Dish dimension input

### 4/5 — It work

*2016-10-07*

Set up kind a hard but it works once you figure it out

### 1/5 — Compass not working

*2016-08-31, version 1.2*

The compass gets stuck ! The app is useless without it. Want a refund

### 4/5 — Good device

*2015-06-29*

So easy to use!!!! You find any sat in few minutes.... I like it!

### 1/5 — USELESS

*2015-03-16*

This app is worthless.   It tries really hard to work and fails miserably.

### 1/5 — Wouldn't use

*2015-03-08, version 1.2*

I aligned the satellite with this app, but still didn't get a signal. 
Not enough information on what to measure. 
May work better if more step by steps are added 

Difficult to use up a ladder. 
You have to have the phone facing up at the side of the arm to use, this was very difficult for me when the dish was directly above my head and no other way to get to the dish. 
Invert would have been good.

### 5/5 — Simple but effective!!

*2014-12-26, version 1.2*

I had to align a dish for a family member and this was very helpful. I followed the simple steps and the dish was allegedly aligned. I connected the receiver and it showed a high signal strength with high quality. The picture was good on all channels so absolutely delighted. Well worth the low price!
